OBJECTIVE
To determine whether implantable insulin pump (IIP) therapy and multiple daily insulin (MDI) injections could equally attain improved blood glucose control, and to compare the 2 treatments… (More)

Elevated circulating levels of an endogenous ouabain (EO) have been associated with essential hypertension. To investigate structure-activity relationships relevant to blood pressure, we infused… (More)
Elevated levels of an endogenous ouabain circulate in many patients with essential hypertension. However, in contrast to ouabain, digoxin does not induce hypertension. This study investigated the… (More)
Ouabain is a specific inhibitor of the sodium pump. This steroid has been found in the mammalian circulation in significant amounts and may be of adrenal origin. Secretion of ouabain from adrenal… (More)
BACKGROUND
An endogenous digitalis-like compound in mammals has long been postulated, but only recently has a substance indistinguishable from ouabain been identified in human plasma. Because of the… (More)
Recent experiments have demonstrated the secretion of a ouabain-like compound from primary cultures of bovine adrenocortical cells (1). To determine the relative contribution of the outer zones of… (More)
OBJECTIVES
To determine the steady-state dose-dependence of blood pressure, plasma and tissue ouabain during continuous infusion of ouabain in the rat, and to evaluate the adrenal dependence and… (More)
This paper investigates some fourth-order accurate explicit finite difference schemes for the 2-D wave equation obtained using 13-, 17-, 21-, and 25-point discrete Laplacians. Optimisation is… (More)
Stencil operations are often a key component when performing acoustics simulations, for which the specific choice of implementation can have a significant effect on both accuracy and computational… (More)
